Going to Beat the Devil (To See My Angel Tonight)
Azar/Masters/Douglas
CAPO I
INTRO: E
E
Flyin' down a flat track, bottle in a brown sack
E
Pistons pumpin' in a poor boy's Cadillac
A E
Across the Mississippi, crazy in the pale moonlight
B A E
I'm goin' to beat the devil to see my angel tonight
Gotta go, can't stop, smokin' like a chimney top
Heart's on fire got me heated up real hot
Burnin' down the pile like a lit stick of dynamite
Said I'm goin 'to beat the devil to see my angel tonight
BRIDGE:
A E
Well there's a little piece of heavy down a snaky Louisiana road
A B D D/A
Sweeter than the taste of homemade wine and hotter than tobasco
Tearin' down the retreads, right foot full of lead
Ain't slowin' down for alligators, copperheads
Like a runaway train, barrelin' down the line
I'm gonna be the devil to see my angel tonight (get outta my way)
SOLO: A E A E
BRIDGE
Skeeter filled swampland, shaky bridge, quicksand
Runnin' over pot holes fast as I can
One left headlight leadin' me to paradise
I'm goin' to beat the devil to see my angel tonight
Said I'm goin' to beat the devil to see my angel tonight
Yeah I'm goin' to beat the devil to see my angel tonight
